#because again

The Kid, patron saint of the exploited, abused, unheard, who's honored in a city in my D&D campaign. She acts for those buried in shallow graves, and those the monsters thought so unimportant that they didn't even bother.

The Kid straddles the line between reckoning and revenge, since that's as close as Bassuras' powerless ever get to justice.

For the concept and design, my GM was inspired by by Nalo Hopkinson's novel Midnight Robber and Diane Dillon's cover art for it!

I hate Ahsoka’s outfit she wears in season one until the new one she gets in I think season three.

The thing that makes me hate it more, is how there are people trying to defend it. Like, oh, more clothing would restrict her movements, especially with her fighting style.

I haven’t watched all of the Clone Wars yet, so you can correct me if I’m wrong, but name me one male Jedi that has her fighting type that is wearing revealing clothing like hers.

Heck, Anakin uses it. Yet, he’s allowed to wear all of the robes he wants and no one bats an eye.

Jedi Master Adi Gallia also used Form V, and while she’s also a female character who, again, uses the same fighting technique, Form V, as Ahsoka, her outfit is no where near as revealing as Ahsoka, who was 14 in the first season.

Another argument is that she’s appealing to young girls. No one I knew at that age dressed like that, save for a few exceptions. It’s something I would maybe find an older teen wearing, not someone her age.

Also, and this irritates me so much you have no idea, she’s in an active war zone. What do you mean she’s wearing that in a war zone??

Both of her shoulder and the entirety of her arms are exposed, including some of her stomach. She has no coverage, and like no armor either unlike Anakin and Obi-Wan who wear some armor pieces. She has nothing to protect her if she gets shot, and sorry but that personally irks me considering she’s fighting in a war.

I hate it when any characters going into an active war zone are dressed like that. I don’t care if they’re male, female, or nonbinary. No one should be wearing something like that in a setting they’re in.

The fact that she’s not the only one either. Aayla Secura is another female Jedi who also seems to fall under this, but at least she gets a sleeve. But guess what? No armor. And while Aayla’s outfit also upsets me, she’s an adult.

Ahsoka is a minor.

And the thing is, I’m pretty sure this is all systemic sexism considering that the production team working on the show had a huge male to female ratio.

I like her later outfits, after her second one, way more. Actually gave her some armor. Just wished she could have worn that from the beginning since it’s way better than what she was wearing before.

If I got anything wrong, or anything I said came off wrong, please correct me.

But when I think about it, I realize there's no way for their polycule to happen in canon, Louis is, like... dead. Yeah, yeah, weak aura, strong aura don't need any canon interactions, they can ship characters from completely different universes, not just with those who are already dead. Whatever.

It just means I need to go purely from the vibes when writing for them. Like how Pyro would win Louis's heart by also being autistic, a loser, an outcast, a wet cat, helpless (when he becomes a vampire, Pyro is very vulnerable because he doesn't understand his new abilities and he needs someone to rely on, and Louis... I mean... I always thought he liked being the one who saves people). And Pyro has his weird charm, just like Owen.

So they could easily be Owen 2.0. Not in the sense that Louis isn't satisfied with just Owen, or that he'd want to replace him... Rather, the fact that Louis could find room in his heart for another wet, angsty rag of a man. With these vibes, their polycule could definitely work. But I need to think more... it's just sooo not enough

...it's not even like, a man thing, it's a people thing?

I'm seeing a lot of people not understand there are legions of grey when it comes to tactile communication, and claiming that we're misinterpreting it because buddie shippers are "young women" (which is a lovely, sexist generalization that erases anyone in this fandom who doesn't identify as a woman, which I'm sure is fucking many)

like plenty of people, I have friendships that are extremely tactile, and that touch ranges from soft and grazing to rough-housing that could maybe be interpreted into something else by an outside perspective, but it's never harmful

more importantly, however, is that these two characters we're discussing, touch, all the time, soft and heavy, but more than that constant constant constant

a hand on the shoulder, sudden or not, between these two people who implicitly trust their emotions and bodies with each other...
